Childhood toy

If you could own and play with one of your childhood toys you owned, which would it be?

I would get Barbie Magic of the Rainbow Elina Doll from 2006. I got this one Xmas from my mum and dad and it became my fave toy ever! I played with her every second I could and took her in to my school show and tell every time we had a show and tell….I treasured her. In the end my mum gave her away to a jumble sale because I was too “old” to play with dolls. I was so upset. I’m in my 20s now and still buy and play with dolls, but if I ever find Rainbow Elina again at a good price I’ll buy her in a heartbeat.

To say I was heartbroken when mine was given away is an understatement!

  • I would love to have my own works back. My tram line schemes, the model of old Siemens - Duevag I made when I was around 10, now only saved on two photos from these old times, and my pretty detailed floor plans and the around 10 cm tall dolls made by me of paper, they were tenants in these floor plans. Each plan had on the reverse the exact address and name of the tenant living there. 

    this is the thing I wanna have back, but I threw them out myself because I believed everything that I made and belongs to me is bad and I had to destroy it. Now regret it severely. The tram line above is a recreated from the original one that exists only in my memory. The tram and the two little dolls on it are the memory of my childhood saved on a photo. Dolls were my friends, I actually somehow identified with them.
